SCRAP N' STAMP~ Bear Hugs Enclosed!

Good morning, I'm back with a lil' make for 

 using 

 I mean how, ADORABLE is that set?

Here's my little card:

You can check out the Scrap N' Stamp Blog here for more details on my card. 

Thank you Mama Bear!

Happy Sunday Crafty Friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Today, I'm here to share a lil' card I made for the Mama Bear in my life...lol. 

I used stamps from Bear Hugs by Mama Elephant. Just love the image and sentiments in this adorable set! 

I'm also, applying for the DT CALL over at Stamping Smiles Designs Challenges using their Tic-Tac-Toe.

 So here is my take using  Twine, Kraft and Woodgrain.

 I used Woodgrain Texture embossing folder by Tim Holtz and inked over it with Adirondack Dye Ink in Latte. Just love the texture! :o)  I then created a scene using Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders

 and Nesting Circles from Lifestyle Crafts.  I added a Speech Bubble from We R Memory Keepers "Icons" Set and by masking the sentiment to get it to fit in the bubble. I finished with twine, button and enamel dots from my stash. 

I colored this Image with SN Markers and fussy cut it out....I really need to invest in this matching die set! lol!

 and of course I did the inside with the some more sentiments from the set.

Mama Bear, I love you!!

 So wish me luck in the DT Call my friends.

Amy's Fairytale Inspiration- Rose Red & Snow White Digital Stamp

Good morning crafty friends!

It's my turn to host over at 

And today I have a card using Snow White & Rose Red from this month's new Releases! It's such a beautiful image and when I looked up the story, it's quite whimsical too!

I went with one of my favorite color combos: RED, BLACK & WHITE. 
CS is American Crafts and DP is from DCWV. I used my Petite dots embossing folder from Emossalicious - Crafter's Companion and finished with Twine, Bling and Roses from my stash. 

When I researched the story, I saw that Snow White had Hair so fair and Rose Red had darker tresses. 
I colored this sweet image with SN Markers and Prismacolor Pencils. 

 For the bear, I went over with my blender pen in a dotted fashion to get a fur like pattern...still need to work on that technique. LOL. 


Here's the inside with the same design as the front and what I thought was a perfect sentiment from Stampin' Up!

Be sure to stayed tuned for the other amazing makes from the DT Gals with this month's New Releases as they are FAB-U-LOUS!

Here's our {Pin}sperational Photo this week: 

We have two wonderful sponsors this week:

Prize: 7 Images

Prize: 5 Digi's to winner

I had the pleasure to work with Butterfly Friend from Stamp Art Design By Kathryne.

 Here's what I came up with: 

I colored the image twice with SN markers and layered it onto the base card. The sentiment is also from Stamp Art Design By Kathryne.

I love the soft colors of this card~ Pink and grey are one of my favorite color Combos. They just go so well together! The DP is Floral Fantasy by Louise Tiler and the CS is Glitter Cardstock from DCWV.

I used a lot of punches on this Easel Card. MS Punch Around the Page- Vintage Floral for the top Base and also added a  layer on the bottom card. The largest Square Swatch from Spellbinders that the image was layered onto.

 Cheery Lynn Designs Exotic Butterfly Dies, EK Tools Butterfly Punch and Marvy Mini Butterfly Punch were used for the Butterfly Embellishments.

I used a soft grey lace, light pink pearls and flowers to finish off the card.

This is a great card for that "Beary Special" Someone! ;o)
